Goldman sets the tone

INDmoney’s market page shows Intel at $128.32 as of June 29, 2026, after a previous close of $132.87 and an intraday range of $125.50 to $131.23. The same page records Goldman Sachs’ Neutral rating and $150 target, which frames the current analyst discussion.

MarketBeat also tied Intel’s latest attention to the broader chip backdrop and the Goldman note. The article said the stock was drawing support from bullish semiconductor sentiment and fresh coverage from the bank. MarketBeat on Intel news flow

Foundry and 18A

Intel Foundry remains the company’s main industrial reset, with The Wall Street Journal reporting on June 23 that Intel has started shipping chips built on its 18A process. The report also said CFO David Zinsner said yields are still not at a level that supports gross margins. WSJ coverage via Yahoo Finance

That same report said Intel Foundry posted about $5.4 billion in Q1 revenue and a $2.4 billion operating loss. It also cited new customer ties, including Nvidia, Google, Apple and Elon Musk’s chip-fab project.

The product behind the stock

Intel’s core products still start with PC and data-center CPUs, with the company now pushing foundry services and 18A manufacturing as the strategic bridge to new customers. The combination defines the current investment case more than any single chip launch.
